| Rocco flies over a jump at our last trial this past May |
This will be Rocco's first full agility season, so we're excited to get going! We had an awesome practice on Tuesday night and now we're in our taper.
We're trying to be really conscious not to over train so that Rocco will be fresh and ready to go on Saturday.
We're trying to be really conscious not to over train so that Rocco will be fresh and ready to go on Saturday.
So that means that the rest of this week we're doing some light running, walks, some back yard play and a little bit of jump training in the backyard just because it's fun!
We're also doing some stretching for both me and Rocco to keep us both flexible and injury free. And, of course, we're resting too!
Here are a few photos from the last trial we competed in last May.
We're really looking forward to having a fun time this weekend, and can't wait to see how we've progressed since the spring!

| I think Rocco took a moment to strike a pose for the photographer. I don't remember him doing this! |

I'm really working hard on my nose work for my first trial in about ten days, but our plan is to not do much the last couple days either. Over training is about as bad as under training. Can't wait to hear all about your agility adventures this season!
ReplyDeleteYes! It's really easy to get caught up in the training and not know when to stop! Good luck preparing for your first trial!
DeleteGood luck for the upcoming weekend and we hope it goes well. Have a fabulous Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Thanks, Molly! Have a great weekend!
DeleteAgility looks like it's a blast. I've done obedience and field trials. I think my next dog will be an agility dog. My only concern is remembering the course.
ReplyDeleteRemembering the course seems to get easier the more you do it. You start learning certain patterns and when you break down the course into a series of sequences it become much easier to remember. I think agility is good for keeping our memory sharp, too!
DeleteGood luck this weekend, hope everything goes well!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We're looking forward to it!
DeleteI am an agility ADDICT! Jimmy and I finally earned our MACH back in April. One of the best days ever! I don't practice much at all. Once a week class that means running maybe 3 tough courses, and then a couple times a month a private lesson for 30 minutes. I have some equipment at home but rarely use it anymore.
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos! Rocco looks like he loves it! Good Luck! Be sure to get a video!
Wow! That's cool! We hope to get a MACH someday!
DeleteRocco you look so graceful in the air. Good luck this weekend. Take lots of photos and videos to share!
ReplyDeleteOh we will! We love the photos and video!
DeleteGood luck this weekend. I love the "wheeeee" photo; that's true joy right there. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun to see the joyful look on his face! I don't get to see it when we're running!
DeleteGo Rocco - good luck, can't wait to hear about it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We can't wait for this weekend! Will be lots of fun!
DeleteYay Rocco! Have fun and good luck! ☺
ReplyDeleteWay to go Rocco!! We keep thinking of getting Ziva into some sort of agility or flyball competitions. I just need to finish school first. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe've taken some foundation classes and I'd like to take some more classes with Mr. N at some point. Good luck, Rocco!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck at your trial. Bet you will do great!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend! These pictures are fantastic--I love the way his hair is flying!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! It sounds like you are ready! We are still considering agility for Luke, so I'll be referring back to your posts when we're ready to start.
ReplyDeleteOh fun! Good luck, Rocco!!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Just wondering, I only train my dogs at home to do agility but I'd love to start competing so I was wondering how come the coarse changes for each dog?
ReplyDeleteThere are several different events offered that each have different types of equipment. A standard course has all the equipment -- contacts, jumps, weaves, tunnels, etc. While a course like Jumpers With Weaves has only jumps, weaves and tunnels. The courses change at each event to provide new patterns and new challenges for each dog/handler team. Otherwise it would get boring! I'm not sure it that was what you were asking, but hope it helps!
ReplyDeleteHope you had fun at your Agility trial this past weekend :)
